Fucking this. Just started in a restaurant and most of the servers just fucking complain and do nothing.
tournant at a fine dining place in NYC
been there for almost 2 yrs. I love my coworkers and my chefs and the food is amazing. I've learned a lot and grew a lot there. I started off as an 18 year old crybaby who could barely cut through carrots with their dull ass culinary school knife, and over a year and a half later I've mastered all the stations and currently I'm learning some sous responsibilities like ordering and expediting.
Long story short, these guys took me in when i knew literally nothing and they molded me into something impressive. I owe them the world for not firing me a week in.
the other day, I ate at a 2 michelin star place just to see what it was like and it honesly was the ideal kitchen that i've always dreamed of working in . small, with a seating at 6 and one at 9, everything is beautiful, FOH and BOH collab to make everyone get their money's worth. The chef knew I was industry and personally served me all of my dishes, while the head somm personally gave me all of my wine pairings. After dinner, they gave me a menu, some recipes, and a few business cards and they basically said they were looking for a cook and they want me to stagé and see how i'd feel about working here. They warned me about the time commitments, the further murder of my already dead social life outside of work, and honestly i was aware of the sacrifices long before they warned me.
my trail is tomorrow. I restocked on equipment, sharpened the fuck out of my knives and had all my shit cleaned and ready to go.
I love my first restaurant like its my own, but i know i can't stay there forever, and this place is my ideal. Any cooks/chefs/workers at michelin star places have any advice when it comes to working or trailing there? Idk man, those stars always seemed so far away, couldnt ever imagine me being good enough to work somewhere like that and yet here we are.
So lay it on me dudes, what to expect, how should i act, etc. etc.
You just have to work hard. Be ready to fail and learn everything you can. This will test you and you will find out if you really want to do this. If you suck get better, work for a year or two, take everything you learned and move on. Only way to be a better chef is to keep moving to gain more experience.
HOW DO I MAKE ANIME CURRY?
THIS IS IMPORTANT!

With a pencil, now fuck off.

Fuck off.
Are these any good? I've never had them in my life. I've always wanted to try them but they're always $1-$2 more expensive than any other bag of chips.
Funyuns are bomb af dude. Very salty but if you don't mind that they're def worth a try
They're fucking great, I wish you could get them where I live
I always get some when I'm in burgerland
>>7514758
If you like the texture of extruded corn and the taste of onion powder you'll like them. I don't.
I cannot fucking sleep. I fucking hate Insomnia
What are some good midnight snacks?

the irony is if they served this shit in prisons you'd have human health organizations up in arms.
Well yea. Theres a big difference between 'forcing' someone to eat artificially flavored garbage that'll clog your arteries, and people choosing to eat that shit of thier own free will.
.t someone who's never eaten prison food
.t op the glorious winged faggot
Give me one good reason why pineapple isn't the best pizza topping
Cashews are better
Because it doesn't work on its own.

Thoughts on Mike's Hard Lemonade?
Would drink ironically if given to me for free/10
better than Bud Light
Terrible hangover and way too sweet.
with my gf right now, about to eat some premium delicious food.
how fucking jelly are you, shitlords?
>>7513197
Your girlfriend looks fat.
Depends on how fat your girlfriend is.
Why do my baguettes look so dull and shitty!? How do I make lovely baguettes? This is bull shit.
>>7513077
shape them more like a cock
Because you made short, perpendicular cuts, thereby making it look like an aborted worm instead of a baguette. It's also fat as fuck

HOTTER AND STEAMIER
Besides tomato, pineapple, and dikfour...
what other fruit go good on pizza?
>>7512828
What's a dikfour based op? It sounds like a delicious low hanging fruit

Dick fur
Capsicum family, olives
What do cu/ck/s have for a hangover? Im drinking veggie broth with soy sauce and memeracha. Salty and filling. And because meat broths taste like shit.
drink water before and while getting drunk, dehydration is what causes hangovers. theres no immediately undoing it once it's done, youll just have to drink water and wait it out.
make sure you have enough that the alcohol to water ratio end up being 4/96 (the equivalent of having drinks that are 4% alcohol)

This doesn't work for me. I get hungover if I just drink beer. I always have a glass of water with every drink to prevent it. Also gives me more shit to do at the club between drinks.
so i gave in to le big mac meme and went out and got one.
goddamn it was pretty tasty.
>>7512580
No it wasn't
>>7512584
yeah, it was
Post knives. I want to buy a set of decent ones, post your favs and what not, money not an issue.
Currently the only knife I own is pic related. Wüsthof chef knife, 20cm blade, composition X50CrMoV15. Satisfied with it but a few different ones would come in handy.
I have some Victorinox knives. They're good and cheap. I'm not a pro chef so good enough for me.
Are Wüsthof meme knives? Marco Pierre White uses Japanese knives and I trust him to know what's best ever since he made me try out Knorr® stock pots.
>>7512529
Wusthof has a good warranty. Good steel. I had a Classic Chef knife with a cracked handle that was 8 years old they replaced it. In hindsight I wouldn't get any grip with a riveted handle as it is s failure point.
Hej,
I was preparing panir the other day and took some pictures.
It's pretty easy all you need is milk and some yoghurt and some icecubes.
Cook the milk, take from the heat and add some yoghurt. Stirr until the milk curls.
When it Starts curling add some icecubes to cool it down a little and to speed the process. After that empty your pot into a towel, let it hang for a couple of minutes and then press it.
After about an hour of pressing.
I realize my kitchen looked like shit that day.
What can you cook?
I'm new to cooking so all I can cook is pic related and some scrambled eggs.
What should I be cooking and what should I keep in my kitchen?
>>7512230
Anything. Get some meat and vegetables that look good and affordable, bring them home, and either experiment or look up instructions on cooking those specific ingredients.
>>7512230
Start working with doe and try making pizza or pastries
What are some nice pizzas I can make?
